The Trip Of We ( PAUSED)

Chapter Twenty : Barbie

Chapter Twenty: Barbie

"There's no way I'm letting you in my house Adam!" I yell for the fifth time.

"Don't be stubborn. Just let me in" He coaxed.
I was standing in my living room, facing the door, well aware that Adam was at the other side and I was just clad in my flimsy excuse of a nightgown.

The red cotton material stopped inches above my knee and hugged my skin possessively.
I've had this nightgown since when i was twelve and I absolutely refuse to get rid of it. Don't blame me, we all have our childhood addiction.

"No Adam. Go back to school"

"It's boring"

"Don't you want to get good grades? A perfect attendance and get into Yale?"
I heard his deep chuckle and frowned.
Guys of nowadays.

"I'm done playing nice. Let me in"

"The only way you're getting in is if you break the door"
He didn't reply me.
"I see you've given up-" I was cut off.

"Actually that's my speciality" and with that he started thundering on my door.

I felt the fear rapidly build up in me.
Is he crazy? Does he actually want to break the door? He wouldn't right? Or would he? He had the strength and build to do so with a kick.

"Fuck!" I curse as I notice the jangling of the door. I had to do something before he broke the door. My parents would kill me.

"Adam?" I asked scared. I couldn't make my voice out from the thundering and banging. If I didn't stop him this door was going to break. Out of instinct I rushed to the door and open it seething with annoyance.

"Hi" he smiled acting like he didn't almost take down my house.

"What the fuck! Do you want to get me trouble?"

"I asked nicely" he pointed out.

"This is my house and I have the right to deny you access" I fumed.

"Well you did ask me to break the door"

"No! Do you know what would have happened if the door got broken?" I screamed.

"Woah! Eva calm down. What's wrong?" Adam asked placing his hands on my shoulder.
Suddenly, I'm aware of the distance between us. How close we are. How his cold hands feel on my bare skin. How cologne soothes me, ridding me of my anger. I take a step back getting red in the face.
I think he felt the same as he stumbled back.

"Uh- Get dressed" he mumbled.

I frown and cross my arms on my chest.
"Why?"
"Why do you argue so much? Just get dressed.
Desperate to get out of my flimsy nightgown, I obey him.

"Are we there yet?" I ask again.

This was the second time I would ride his car. It was comfortable and I could barely feel this car moving. The leather scent was mixed with his cologne and I took occasional deep breaths.

"Do you have patience at all?"
"I do but considering that fact that we've been driving for about thirty minutes in the middle of nowhere gives me the creeps so spill" I deadpanned.

"We're almost there"
"You've said that for-" I was cut off as the car swerved dangerously to the right and came to an abrupt stop. I jerked forward and almost hit my head.

"See, thank goodness you put on your seatbelt."  He chuckled and got out of the car.

"Quick barbie"
Anger exploded in me. Barbie?

"Who are you calling barbie? You almost killed me. Why did you drive like that!" I hissed.

The cold air slapped me and instantly I am grateful for my wool sweater. I take in my surrounding and discover that we are in an alley or something. It was dark and a few cars were also parked.

"Well, you're blonde to begin with" he shrugged.

"Excuse me? You are blonde also"

"And a guy" he pointed out.

"Whatever. Why are we here Adam? It's dark in here" I asked hurriedly catching up with his steps. The last thing I wanted was to be lost here.
He reached out for something and pulled a door open.
"I'm here" he paused to look at me "to help you."

"Get on Barbie."

I stare at him in disbelief.
"You're kidding right?"

After entering the door and passing through a series of tunnels, we finally emerged with a beaming Adam saying "We're here!"
It was an abandoned road. I spotted a group of guys and girls not far away and eyed them suspiciously.
"You brought me here, to swallow my thoughts in drugs?" I hissed desperate to get out of here.

"Yo! Adam! How are you?!" A lanky guy approached us with a helmet in hand. His as were exposed in his loose top and I could see the endless stream of tattoos on his body.
He slapped Adam on his back playfully and they both hugged.
"Who is she? I thought you didn't do girlfriends?"
"You're always a pain in the ass Jer." He replied punching him on the arm.
So here we are, after renting a dark blue motorcycle with Adam trying to convince me to get on it.

"Loosen up. Have fun. Don't you need to get your mind off something?"
The picture of Jason and Layla appeared in my head and my heart felt like it was ripped away from my chest.
"Yeah" I mumbled and got on the bike.

"What am I meant to do?" I asked. I was getting excited a little bit because I always had interest in automobiles.
"Well, you have to put on this helmet" he gave me a bright red helmet. "And that's all"

"So?"

"So. Get ready for your favorite ride".
